Mozambique Continued from page 33 Filipe Johannes Madzodzere, also kidnapped in Salisbury, and Alfred Roberto Amargo were acquitted of simialr charges. New cases of kidnapping have been reported by our organisers. One of the outstanding was the kidnapping of Mr. Peter Balamanja, founder president of the Mozambique African National Congress with headquarters in Central Africa, in lune 1963. Reports reaching the UDENAMO offices indicate that three African nationalist from Mozambique were arrested while in transit by the Rhodesia police at the beginning of October-. One of our organisers in Southern Rhodesia, who was reported missing from his residence in Bulawayo and is suspected of having been kidnapped by the PIDE, has since been forcibly used by the PIDE to trap other nationalists leaders by sending letters with his signature plus booked air tickets requesting them to fly to Southern Rhodesia in order to meet him. Trickery A letter of this sort and a travel ticket was sent to the UDENAMO representative in Leopoldville. During the arrest of Jaime Sigauke in 1962, a similar incident occured when two travel tickets were sent to the UDENAMO office in Dar-es-Salaam, accompanied by a telegram bearing his name. HOWEVER. THE UDENAMO IS FULLY AWARE OF THESE COLONIALIST TRICKS AND IS HEIGHTENING ITS VIGILANCE BOTH AT HOME AND ABROAD. All this has gone on for 465 years! Now thc time has come when wc the people of Mozambique, and not only we but all the peoples of the world who stand for the end of colonialism and imperialism and for peace must expose and fight all that represents an obstacle to the achievement of our ideals and goal—National Independence. Today in the face of the great changes that have been brought about in the international sphere by the mighty upsurge of thc African peoples, today when the herculean struggle of the Angolan peoples and that of the people of so-called Portuguese Guinea cannot be crushed even by the colossal savagery of the fascist Portuguese colonialists, the time and conditions are definitely propitious for Mozambique to deal the final blow that will once and for ever end the humiliation of colonial domination on her soil. In Mozambique wc are on a road of no return and shall never lay down our arms until colonialism and imperialism is finally crushed. ROY WELENSKY HAVE great respect for the endurance of boxers in taking brutal punishment especially when punishments are inflicted to their skull. I am not a doctor but I am told the regularity of such an ordeal gradually affects their mental balance and reasoning. Such is the state of mind of poor pugilist-com-loco- motive drivcr-cum mediocre politician, Roy Welensky. He Is Frantic In a statement which has thrown out of £ear his own inveterate supporters, Welensky is shouting frantically that there is "dictatorship in Africa". This arrogant -twerp of a politician could not—with apologies to his insanity—specify who were the dictators and who were being dictated to. If African leaders are dictators that is well said, and done. Because they are dictating to their own kith and kin for their supreme welfare and knowing fully well that pirates of Roy Welensky's ilk have been let loose like influenza throughout Africa in their desperate bid to neo- colonise all independent States. If Roy feels he is competent as a dictator why should he not go back to his country—if only he has any at all—to be a dictator. His countrymen would have not certainly needed the aid of medical specialists to declare him a lunatic of the incurable type. Roy laments that Nyasaland is on its way to dictatorship. To blame Roy for this nonsensical statement is to do him injustice. His advisers are rather to be skinned alive. When Roy had the Michiavellian to shoot in cold blood pregnant women and innocent children, he was acclaimed to be the greatest democratic statesman in Africa. But when drastic measures are taken against his African paid minions and agent provocateurs, he laments that Beelzebub has been let lose. African leaders arc governing Africans. The governed masses have not complained. If Roy feels that he is not being given full rights in this exercise, the one and only way open to him is to leave for his own country which, I am told, is spread over the whole globe. One shudders to think that a crank dullard like Roy Welensky has been honoured with the accolade of 'Sir'. The intrinsic value of Knighthood has now been bereft of its magnificent qualities, pomp and majesty. Past Empire builders of the Victorian era will kick in their graves when they get to know that their honoured award for distinguished services to the state has now gone to the does. DECEMBER, 1963 37
